A little boy sat on a rock by the side of a river
one knee going back and forth from side to side
his eyes staring out over the water
while looking inward, recalling glimpses from his memories
he could hear the water rippling by
the humming bees and bird calls here and there
the faraway sound of traffic and people
and the wind pushing gently through the tall grasses and reeds
he never came here with his father
but always felt close to him when he did
reflecting on moments they talked together
conversations not as important as the company
he read somewhere the kingdom of heaven is within you
and that in the kingdom, there are many mansions
places prepared for those who believe
and he thought, do they serve cake in heaven?
